Which sampling method is based on probability?

There are many such methods: cluster sampling, stratified random sampling, simple random sampling.Their usefulness depends on the circumstances.

Simple Random Sample Stratified Random Sampling Cluster Sampling Systematic Sampling Convenience Sampling


What are the various kind of sampling?

They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.


Breifly explain three different examples of sampling?

Which sampling is obtained by dividing the population into groups and selecting all individuals from within a random sample of the groups?

It is called one-stage cluster sampling. If random samples are taken within the selected clusters then it is two-stage cluster sampling.


How do multistage sampling applies to real life situation?

Multistage sampling is a form of cluster sampling where instead of using the entire cluster, random samples from each cluster are used. This is typically used when doing opinion polls or surveys.


Different types of random and non random sampling?

stratified sampling, in which the population is divided into classes, and random samples are taken from each class;cluster sampling, in which a unit of the sample is a group such as a household; andsystematic sampling, which refers to samples chosen by any system other than random selection.


What is the difference between stratified random sampling and cluster sampling?

Basically in a stratified sampling procedure, the population is first partitioned into disjoint classes (the strata) which together are exhaustive. Thus each population element should be within one and only one stratum. Then a simple random sample is taken from each stratum, the sampling effort may either be a proportional allocation (each simple random sample would contain an amount of variates from a stratum which is proportional to the size of that stratum) or according to optimal allocation, where the target is to have a final sample with the minimum variabilty possible. The main difference between stratified and cluster sampling is that in stratified sampling all the strata need to be sampled. In cluster sampling one proceeds by first selecting a number of clusters at random and then sampling each cluster or conduct a census of each cluster. But usually not all clusters would be included.


Example of multistage sampling?

the combinitoin of any random samples is called multistage samplinag. it is the expensive form of cluster samling. when each elements in cluster are expensive then we use multistage sampling.
